According to the BBC, most people start putting up and decorating Christmas trees in early December. Usually on the first day of Advent or the fourth week before Christmas. That means that in 2023, Christmas trees will start to be installed and decorated starting December 3, 2023.
It’s different in Norway, where families traditionally only decorate their Christmas trees on December 23. This has indeed been adapted from generation to generation regarding the Scandinavian tradition of celebrating Christmas every December 24.
According to The Spruce, if some people want to put up Christmas trees and decorations outdoors, then around Halloween, to be exact at the end of October. For indoors, this can be done in early December. Beauties also have to devote one weekend to putting up outdoor decorations and another weekend to put up indoor decorations.
Even though it has been prepared long ago, Bria Hammel, CEO and Creative Director of Bria Hammel Interiors, said that it would be best to have several new decorative items installed on Christmas Day, namely December 25. Especially plant decorations and Christmas stockings filled with food and candy, as well as other Christmas gifts.

Beauties must determine the concept first to make it easier to choose colors and types of Christmas ornaments according to the chosen theme.
Usually the Christmas tree themes that are often used are White Christmas, Blue Christmas, Rustic Christmas, or traditional with a combination of green, red and gold.
2. Placing Decorative Lights
Decorative lights can be placed by wrapping them around the Christmas tree from bottom to top and this is the first decoration that must be done first. After that, do other decorations without having to disturb the position of the lights.
3. Choose ornaments and decorations according to category
Choose decorations according to color, type and shape. After that, you can then install the ornaments and decorations on the Christmas tree so that the visuals are even more attractive and creative. Make sure all ornaments and decorations are installed evenly.
4. Hang Heavy Decorations Near the Tree Trunk
The placement of decorations is also very important. It is best to place heavy ornaments near the tree trunk so they can support a heavier load. Then other ornaments can be placed near the decorative lights to make them stand out more
5. Choose a Tree Topper Decoration
The most awaited thing is choosing the tree topper decoration. Beauties should choose the tree topper decoration according to the theme and size of the tree.
